This Moby Remix Of Yoko Ono’s “Hell In Paradise” Was Inspired By A Mushroom

“That’s a giant mushroom.”

With the memory of a remarkably large bit of New York City sidewalk growth in mind, Moby has drawn Yoko Ono's 1985 song "Hell In Paradise" out into an echoing chamber-like ten-minute house track.

As Moby wrote in a note to The FADER, so the story goes: "One time in the late '80s I found a giant mushroom on the street near the Dakota, where Yoko lived. I was taking pictures ofit and she walked by and said, "That's a giant mushroom.' Thus, the remix, somehow."

And of course Ono is pleased with the outcome, which will be included on her upcoming compilation of remixes and covers Yes, I'm A Witch Too. "I love the fact that he is so creative," she told The FADER. "He added his energy as well as just notes and unnotes!" Indeed, he did.
